Electrum Android crashing

[jubalix]

ok I have been using EA for a while now ok.

Today is crashed out, by hanging at the startup screen.

I have uninstalled re-installed, restarted, multiple times and its crashing by hanging at the intro screen or the make a new wallet screen.

I cannot currently get it working.

Each time I try to reinstall it google play now crashed as well.

I am not game to use in anymore in case it has been hacked by some other program on the android.....

I mean what is to stop the android manufactures from including malicious code in their updates.....?

could a couple of disenfranchised programmers get together and inject code to a firmware update that looks for private keys, qr codes or similar?

does it need an airgap mode???

not just for electrum but any client?

I had the same issue. How full is your storage drive it is on? If the app section is more than 90% full (I think it only has about 1GB - in older versions especially - my jellybean has that issue) the that'll make it crash.
If it were a malicious attack, I'd expect they'd make it functioin at a slower rate than that as it just needs to gather data and send that data back to them whenever the other app is opened (so it'd slow down another app instead of the electrum app).
